Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Chapter 39 Tony begins to tell a story!

"Jarvis!" Tony yelled as he turned around.

Suddenly, several mechanical probes appeared out of nowhere, shooting out beams of light to scan the icosahedron in Lin Yi's hand.

"Unable to analyze, sir. It matches the characteristics of the marker described by the quantum beings."

"Sir, the match rate has risen to 97.61%."

Match rate? Lin Yi was puzzled. What the hell was that? And how was the match rate, which was two decimal places, calculated?

With such a high match rate, am I the chosen one?

"So do you know what this thing is?" Lin Yi tossed the icosahedron in his hand. This thing is a bit magical. If you don't touch it for a while, it will float up on its own, but if you touch it, it will temporarily lose its levitation function.

"I don't know." Tony stared at the icosahedron and shook his head.

"I don't know what you're looking at so intently!" Lin Yi rolled her eyes and put it away in an annoyed tone.

"Um... I thought you would know that this was supposed to be given to you by the Quantum Man." Tony, unusually, didn't use his foul language, but instead asked a question.

"Yes." Lin Yi smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"I don't know if I can be considered to know quantum beings, but the things were definitely given to me by quantum beings."

"After I received this, a cosmic virus broke out in our universe. Yes, the same kind of cosmic virus as in your universe."

Lin Yi's inner speculation about the quantum human's identity, along with his sixth sense, told him that the quantum human was not the culprit behind the cosmic virus.

But inevitably, the quantum man is present throughout the entire event.

"It wasn't the Quantum Man who did it..." Tony shook his head and said.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yi frowned.

"It means exactly what it says. I know you suspect the cosmic virus might be the work of quantum beings, since the quantum virus only broke out after you obtained this thing."

"But I am quite certain that the quantum beings appeared to destroy the cosmic virus, not that they brought the cosmic virus with them."

Lin Yi stared directly at Tony for a long while, and only after confirming that he wasn't lying did she speak softly, "I don't know why you're so sure. If that's the case, then what's the meaning of this icosahedron she gave me? Could it be that it contains a way to completely solve the cosmic virus?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi chuckled to himself, "If that's really the case, why not just give me the solution directly? Why bother putting it inside an icosahedron that can't be analyzed or opened?"

Tony stared directly at Lin Yi: "What do you think? You really don't know the Quantum Man's identity? What do you think her purpose would be if she did this?"

Lin Yi fell silent.

I know nothing! If she really is the one I'm thinking of, I'd be spanking her right now!

Who taught them this? Why not be a normal person and instead try to do something like a riddle-solving person like some other people!

"I didn't come here to talk to you about this, Tony," Lin Yi said, changing the subject directly.

"My universe has also been hit by a cosmic virus. I've come here to find a solution to this problem."

"My friends... are suffering from the cosmic virus, and even your daughter, Morgan, is lying in bed right now, enduring pain every moment."

Not at all. Although the Infinity Stones have been returned, Morgan will remain asleep and unaware of the pain as long as the energy channeled by Lin Yi hasn't dissipated.

The silence now fell on Tony, who had already roughly guessed Lin Yi's purpose in coming.

"That's not mine..." Tony stubbornly tilted his head back, trying to say that it wasn't his daughter.

But Lin Yi directly pulled up a picture of Morgan on his phone, shoved it in front of him, and pointed at Morgan in the picture.

Tony's cheek muscles twitched uncontrollably, and he found himself unable to utter the words.

It's all Morgan! Although they're not from the same universe, that familiar face, that familiar smile—how could Tony bear to say those words?

"You..." Tony was speechless, pointing at Lin Yi as if he wanted to curse but stopped, and after a long while he seemed to deflate and leaned back.

"You won..."

I won, my ass!

Seeing Tony lost in thought, Lin Yi knew that his mood had changed and did not urge him, giving him some time.

A few minutes later.

"Is Pepper... alright?" Tony suddenly looked out the window and asked.

Having been monitored beforehand, he naturally learned that Pepper from another universe was still alive.

Lin Yi nodded: "That's great. Right now, he's probably holding little Morgan and crying his eyes out. Although he hasn't been infected with the cosmic virus yet, who knows when he might be lying next to Morgan."

Tony turned his head with a distorted expression, his lips moving as if he couldn't help but want to curse Lin Yi.

"You're really sharp-tongued..."

How can you resist swearing like that? Are you a Ninja Turtle?

"Likewise..." Lin Yi sneered. If I don't throw some bombshells at you, would you be willing to reveal information about the isolated cosmic virus?

If I'm going to throw a knife, I'll throw the hardest one. You'll see if I don't stab you and that's it!

Tony silently got up and went to the liquor cabinet to get a bottle of wine.

This time, she politely poured Lin Yi a glass as well.

"In 2023, we found a way to travel through time..." Tony took a swig of strong liquor, sat back down, and looked at Lin Yi as he spoke.

"I imagine the same is true for your universe."

Lin Yi nodded, signaling him to continue.

See, he said Tony had to be aggressive, and that's when he started talking about history, telling stories, and going through the motions.

"Thanos has appeared, brought by Nebula from the past."

"They were infected with a cosmic virus, though of course we didn't know it was a cosmic virus at the time."

Thanos has become even more powerful than before, and the Avengers are suffering repeated defeats.

As he spoke, Tony waved his hand, and Jarvis pulled over a screen that was playing war scenes from Avengers: Endgame.

In the scene, the Avengers are battling Thanos's army.

That Thanos was just as powerful, ferocious, and twisted as the one in Lin Yi's universe.

As Tony said, the Avengers were almost powerless against Thanos's attacks, and even Carol was in a terrible state.

In this universe, there is no Lin Yi. Gu Yi said that he has absolute uniqueness, which is normal, since he is a time traveler.

"We are no match for the mutated Thanos. In fact, some of our people were infected with the cosmic virus during the war."

"They went berserk on the spot and started attacking their teammates, and the situation got worse and worse in a very short time."

Tony sighed.

This is different from Lin Yi's universe, where this situation only occurred after Thanos was defeated.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the situation arose because Lin Yi was not present and no other high-level combatants joined the battlefield, which led to the prolonged battle.

Tony continued, "In this situation, it seems that only failure awaits us."

"But then, things took a turn for the better."
